"Conjuring fantastical worlds in his imaginative settings of Percy Bysshe Shelley, Rabindranath Tagore, and Jill Freeman, composer Jack Van Zandt caresses words and shapes instrumental colors like an alchemist, all brought vividly to life by the superb Stacey Fraser."
– Anne LeBaron, composer
"Van Zandt draws strange and fascinating landscapes, bathed in rich colours thanks to a chamber ensemble that favours textural contrasts and accompanies a soprano (the excellent Canadian Stacey Fraser). Superb."
